[ubermodder23]

Look what I found on eBay. Pretty funny, might have to buy it! http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=51147&item=5117187293&rd=1&ssPageName=WDVW

Alas, they won't ship this marvel overseas, lol

[Berethorn]

These people are really smart! I bet they'll sell it for ALOT more than it would otherwise be! :p

[inflames988]

Haha, i laugh now but my HP was worse then that when i first got it to run- with an 822mb hdd, 32mb ram, Pentium MMX (no numbers), no sound card, no modem, nothing

[inflames988]

What is that "sniper button" anyway? with that kind of shipping, even if someone does bid at all, they will definetely make a decent profit.

[netnamakan]

if you look closely on the sniper button pic theres writing under some of the buttons saying vol/up up an by the other ones it says sleep and vol on lol
probly just the old control panel from the case

[KoMoDo]

haha thats freakin hilarious :-P wonder how much itll go for, 4 ppl already bid on it :-P
im not sure if he'll profit from the shipping cost, if ppl will pay 35$ for the thing without the monitor, he will, but 50$ with the monitor, monitor shipment is at least like 30$ isnt it ? look at newegg prices, 15$+ for just an LCD flat panel... u never know :-P

Why do I get the feeling that ubermodder23 is actually the seller trying to promote his item by putting it up on computer forums? ;)

[Moose on the Loose]

Might be but I'm still glad he posted the link :)

[Trent Steel]

Looks like it will be a failed auction. Someone really wants that computer. I still think that this post was to advertise his ebay wares.

[KoMoDo]

hmm i was kinda busy and didnt have time, but it said the bid is currently at $90,000.00... WTF ?!?!

[JTH]

Someone obviously making a joke. Ebay bids are contract though - don't think the seller will be too happy with this prank bid.

[KoMoDo]

thats exactly the problem, ebay is smart, it uses this code that when u enter an amount, it automatically goes and adds only like 1-4$ of the previous bidder, thats y theres no way it reached 90,000$, unless 2 kids worked together or somethin..

[MaLfUnCtIoN]

is every1 saying the seller is the one getting screwed? hes about to clear around 88,000-89,000 bucks.

[Panama Red]

Looks like the $90K bidder has grounds for claiming misrepresentation! In the specs at the top of the page it is referred to as 233MHz while at the bottom of the page it is called 266MHz. Built in escape hatch! :D

[Xtasy]

I know this is a stupid question, but is this a joke? Who in their right mind would pay that much for a crap computer lol. Thats hilarious! It doesn't even look tight, it looks hella stupid.

[abnorml_chylde]

xtasy,
im completely with you on that one, that thing seems to be one of the most pointless things i have ever seen...

[holocube]

It's only a bit of fun. What do you mean 90k?, has it been retracted now cz i'm only seeing $2.70

[deadman.inc]

yea me too i only see 2.70$ and look at all the bs the seller has come up with. it's a super computer? omg!! i hate ppl who do false advertisement! who would bid on such a worthless POC! i wouldnt. . lol, wow. . . .

[holocube]

I would, It's funny and original, plus you get a working monitor, peripherals and testing accessories for a cheap price. The description is fine and clearly a joke, and the specs are clearly listed. A great buy if u ask me ;)

[palloco]

I would even pay the 4 $ someone offered, but then 89000$ bid appeared. It really worths 4$, it is almost as good as mine computer

[deadman.inc]

lol, wow. . . . i didn't see the 89 grand bid on it, it actually went down to 2.45 from 2.70. . . where the 89000 bid?

[KoMoDo]

its down now, i guess it was a prank or something, maybe ebay saw it and lowered it down back to default or somethin, really not sure.. i got a feeling thats what they did because they got almost 3000 visits so it must alerted them about something, all from pcmech prolly :-P

Sorry to dig this thread up from the dead but just look at the feedback, pretty nice computer for under 3 bucks.

[Jaggannath]

LOL Indeed, a steal at $2.45 + $50 or whatever
I'm bummed I can't see the pictures though :(
